The Foundation for the Comprehensive Plan

Population Projections Population Characteristics Demographic Changes Housing Characteristics Housing Demand Future Land Use Demand
6
Population is a major component in the Comprehensive Plan It’s a building block for many land use estimates Residential units Commercial and office square footage Industrial acres
7
The primary source for demographic data for Plan Norwalk is the U.S. Census Bureau, ESRI Business Analyst, CBRE Market Analysis Since 1980, Norwalk has increased its population by 276.5% from 2,376 to 8,945 Norwalk has been the fastest growing city in Warren County during the same time period

Various Methodologies Trend line analysis 1960 to 2010 1970 to 2010 1980 to 2010 2000 to 2010 Cohort survival analysis
10
Population Estimate 1 What do the numbers tell us? Additional 10,680 people over 30 years 8,945 in 2010 growing to 19,625 in 2040 Growth rate: 119% total growth over 30 years
12
Population Estimate 2 What do the numbers tell us? Additional 41,578 people over 30 years 8,945 in 2010 growing to 50,523 in 2040 Growth rate: 465% total growth over 30 years

NATIONAL TRENDS AND LOCAL COMPARISONS
14
Nationally, baby boomers are still relevant! Born between 1946 and 1964 Very large age cohort that impacts community (60M in that age group nationally) Some are entering retirement age now Future impacts on housing, land use, transportation and economy
15
Generation Y – The Boomer babies! Born between 1982 and 1995 Larger generation (80M vs. 60M) nationally than Baby Boomers Different preferences Plugged-in generation Impacts on housing choices, land use, transportation and economy
16
Generation X – the in-between generation Born between 1965 and 1976 Smaller generation nationally than Baby Boomers (51M vs. 60M) The suburban generation; the ‘latchkey’ kids First multi-cultural generation Highly mobile workforce
17
Norwalk demographics differ from national trends 2010 population characteristics Age 0 – 14 2,244 or 25.1% Gen Y 1,686 or 18.9% Gen X 2,027 or 22.7% Baby Boomers 2,206 or 24.6% Age 65+ 782 or 8.7%
18
Norwalk demographics differ from national trends Small growth in population 65 and older Norwalk population over 65 is 8.7% (2010) US population over 65 is 13.03% (2010) Young children (age 0 – 14) make up largest population segment; 25.1% Children age 0 – 18 make over 30% of Norwalk’s population

HOUSING TRENDS AND DEMANDS
21
Household size is decreasing Norwalk, similar to national trend 2.88 in 2000 2.70 in 2010 Norwalk has larger HH size than surrounding communities and State of Iowa in 2010 2.41 in Iowa 2.32 in West Des Moines 2.58 in Ankeny
22
Residential unit demand based on population estimate 1 4,151 residential units 3,118 owner occupied 1,033 rental
23
Residential unit demand based on population estimate 2 16,162 residential units 12,139 owner occupied 4,023 rental
24
Types of housing products Single family Accessory dwelling unites Multi-family Mixed use Assisted living
30
Plan Norwalk assumptions Existing building trends and supply 71% single family and 21% multi-family 76% owner occupied and 24% rental Should goals for single family and multi-family change in the future? What will market demand be for owner occupied versus rental?
31
2010 housing unit supply 360 +/- approved units; sf and mf 4 year supply based on population projection 1 Existing supply will only meet a small portion of 2040 demand!
33
Projected Land Use by Classification (by percentage) Residential 30.0% Commercial 6.5% Industrial/RR 2.5% Public/semi public 14.8% Public R.O.W. 25.6% Vacant/Ag 20.6% Total 100.0%
34
Population Estimate 1 Residential Land Use 811 acres Commercial Land Use176 acres Industrial Land Use 68 acres Public Land Use400acres ROW692acres Other Land Use 557acres Total New Development 2,702acres Land area is equal to 4.2 square miles
35
Population Estimate 2 Residential Land Use 3,156 acres Commercial Land Use 684 acres Industrial Land Use 263 acres Public Land Use1,557 acres ROW2,693 acres Other Land Use 2,167 acres Total New Development 10,520 acres Land area is equal to 16.4 square miles
36
Where should residential land uses be geographically allocated? Where should other land uses by geographically allocated? Will this meet future demand? What options should be identified in Plan Norwalk?
37
Population growth and demographic change will impact housing demand over the next 30 years Current plans, building trends and housing supply may need to change significantly to meet future demands Increasing demand for housing options with higher densities with more amenities within walking distance
